Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Spielfahrzeug, insbesondere ein Kindertretfahrzeug, das bevorzugt die Form eines Traktors hat, ohne daß die Erfindung hierauf beschränkt ist. Grundsätzlich ist die Erfindung auch auf ein motorgetriebenes Spielfahrzeug anwendbar. Die Spielfahrzeuge mit Heckbagger sind z.B. aus US-A-3205612, US 2003/160406 oder US-A-3176862 bekannt.The invention relates to a toy vehicle, in particular a child pedal vehicle, which preferably has the form of a tractor, without the invention being limited thereto. In principle, the invention is also applicable to a motorized toy vehicle. The toy vehicles with backhoe are e.g. from US-A-3205612, US 2003/160406 or US-A-3176862.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Fahrzeug der betrachteten Art so weiter zu entwickeln, daß der Spielwert des Fahrzeugs erhöht ist. Dabei soll das Fahrzeug auch von kleinen Kindern betätigbar sein und hohen Sicherheitsanforderungen genügen.The present invention has for its object to develop a vehicle of the type considered so that the play value of the vehicle is increased. The vehicle should also be operated by small children and meet high safety requirements.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung sieht vor, daß an dem Spielfahrzeug ein Heckbagger befestigt ist, der mittels eines Aufnahmeblocks an der Rückseite des Fahrzeugkörpers befestigt ist. Der Aufnahmeblock enthält hierzu vorzugsweise einen Kupplungsbolzen, der ringförmige Kupplungselemente des Fahrzeugkörpers durchgreift.The invention provides that on the toy vehicle, a backhoe is attached, which is fastened by means of a receiving block to the rear of the vehicle body. For this purpose, the receiving block preferably contains a coupling pin, which passes through annular coupling elements of the vehicle body.

Auf dem Aufnahmeblock ist ein Sitzausleger drehbar befestigt, der aus einem Ausleger und einer darauf befestigten Sitzschale besteht. An dem Ausleger ist ein eine Baggerschaufel haltendes, vorzugsweise aus Kunsstoff bestehendes Gestänge befestigt, das zum Heben, Senken und Verschwenken der Baggerschaufel bevorzugt mit zwei Handgriffen versehen ist.On the receiving block, a seat boom is rotatably mounted, which consists of a boom and a seat pan mounted thereon. On the boom is attached to a bucket holding, preferably made of plastic existing linkage, which is preferably provided for lifting, lowering and pivoting the bucket with two handles.

Weiter ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß an dem Aufnahmeblock ein Stützbein angebracht ist, das zwischen einer angehobenen, bevorzugt seitlich ausgeschwenkten Stellung und einer abgesenkten Stellung schwenkbar ist, in der das Stützbein mit einem Fuß auf dem Boden aufruht. Außerdem ist an dem Aufnahmeblock erfindungsgemäß eine Sicherungshakeneinrichtung angebracht, die in einer ersten Position das Stützbein in der angehobenen Stellung und zugleich den Sitzausleger in einer vorbestimmten Winkellage arretiert, und in einer zweiten Position das Stützbein in der abgesenkten Position blockiert, wobei außerdem der Sitzausleger zur Drehung freigegeben ist.Further, the invention provides that a support leg is attached to the receiving block, which is pivotable between a raised, preferably laterally swung-out position and a lowered position in which the support leg rests with one foot on the floor. In addition to the receiving block according to the invention a securing hook device is mounted, which locks the support leg in the raised position and at the same time the seat boom in a predetermined angular position in a first position, and blocked in a second position, the support leg in the lowered position, wherein also the seat arm for rotation is released.

Wenn ein Kind mit dem Spielfahrzeug fährt, muß natürlich das Stützbein in der angehobenen Stellung sein, da das Stützbein anderenfalls über den Boden schleifen würde. Zum Fixieren des Stützbeins in der angehobenen Stellung wird der Sicherungshaken der Sicherungshakeneinrichtung in eine solche Stellung gebracht, in der der Haken das Stützbein übergreift, so daß dieses unbeweglich gehalten ist. Dabei ist der Sitzausleger in einer vorbestimmten Winkellage arretiert, womit verhindert ist, daß der Sitzausleger mit dem daran befindlichen Gestänge und der Baggerschaufel beim Fahren des Spielfahrzeugs hin- und herschwenken kann.Of course, when a child is traveling with the toy vehicle, the support leg must be in the raised position, otherwise the support leg would drag across the floor. For fixing the support leg in the raised position of the safety hook of the safety hook device is brought into such a position in which the hook engages over the support leg, so that it is held immobile. In this case, the seat arm is locked in a predetermined angular position, which prevents the seat boom with the linkage thereon and the bucket while driving the toy vehicle can swing back and forth.

Wenn das Kind den Heckbagger benutzen möchte, bewegt es den Sicherungshaken zunächst in eine vorzugsweise leicht angehobene Stellung, in der das Stützbein von dem Sicherungshaken freigegeben ist und in die abgesenkte Position bewegbar ist, in der das Stützbein auf dem Boden aufruht. Wenn dies der Fall ist, wird der Sicherungshaken in eine zweite, vorzugsweise nach unten verschwenkte Position bewegt, in der das Stützbein blockiert ist und außerdem gleichzeitig der Sitzausleger zur Drehung freigegeben ist. Dabei ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, daß der Sicherungshaken drehbar angeordnet ist, d.h. in die verschiedenen Position gedreht wird.When the child wants to use the backhoe, it first moves the safety hook to a preferably slightly raised position in which the support leg is released from the safety hook and is movable to the lowered position in which the support leg rests on the floor. If this is the case, the safety hook is moved to a second, preferably downwardly pivoted position in which the support leg is blocked and at the same time the seat arm is released for rotation. It is preferably provided that the safety hook is rotatably arranged, that is rotated in the different position.

Da der Aufnahmeblock mit dem Heckbagger durch das Stützbein am Boden abgestützt ist, kann sich das Kind nun gefahrlos auf die bevorzugt vorgesehene Sitzschale des Sitzauslegers setzen, ohne daß das Spielfahrzeug um die Hinterachse kippen kann und ohne daß die auf den Aufnahmeblock einwirkenden Kräfte das Spielfahrzeug beschädigen können. Da der Sitzausleger zur Drehung freigegeben ist, kann nun der Heckbagger innerhalb des vorgesehenen Drehbereichs verschwenkt werden.Since the receiving block is supported with the backhoe by the support leg on the ground, the child can now safely put on the preferred provided seat shell of the seat cant without the toy vehicle can tilt about the rear axle and without the forces acting on the receiving block damage the toy vehicle can. Since the seat boom is released for rotation, now the backhoe can be pivoted within the intended range of rotation.

Da die beiden oben beschriebenen Zustände durch Drehen einer einzigen Sicherungshakeneinrichtung hervorgerufen und gesichert werden, ist eine einfach Bedienbarkeit gewährleistet. Die Anordnung aus Spielfahrzeug und Heckbagger genügt dabei hohen Sicherungsanforderungen.Since the two states described above are caused and secured by turning a single safety hook device, easy operability is ensured. The arrangement of toy vehicle and backhoe meets high security requirements.

Mit großem Vorteil ist vorgesehen, daß die Sicherungshakeneinrichtung einen Sicherungshaken, der um eine Achse drehbar ist, einen Mitnehmer, der mit dem Sicherungshaken drehfest verbunden ist, und einen Sicherungsbolzen aufweist, der in dem Aufnahmeblock angeordnet ist.With great advantage, it is provided that the safety hook device comprises a securing hook, which is rotatable about an axis, a driver, which is rotatably connected to the safety hook, and a securing bolt, which is arranged in the receiving block.

Der Sicherungsbolzen ist in dem Aufnahmeblock verschieblich angeordnet, und zwar zwischen einer oberen Position, in der er mit seinem oberen Ende in eine Aussparung in der Unterseite des Sitzauslegers eingreift, und einer unteren Position, in der er mit seinem unteren Ende in eine Aussparung des abgesenkten Stützbeins eingreift. Der mit der Drehachse fest verbundene Mitnehmer hat dabei einen quer zu der Achse verlaufenden stabförmigen Mitnehmerabschnitt, der in einen Zwischenraum zwischen zwei seitlichen Anschlägen des Sicherungsbolzens eingreift, so daß der Sicherungsbolzen durch Drehen des Sicherungshakens und des damit verbundenen Mitnehmers nach oben oder nach unten verschiebbar ist.The securing bolt is slidably disposed in the receiving block, between an upper position in which it engages with its upper end in a recess in the underside of the seat post, and a lower position in which it is lowered at its lower end into a recess Support leg engages. The fixedly connected to the axis of rotation driver has a transverse to the axis rod-shaped driving portion which engages in a space between two lateral stops of the securing bolt, so that the securing bolt is displaceable by turning the securing hook and the associated driver up or down ,

Wenn sich das Stützbein in der angehobenen Position befindet, kann seine Lage dadurch gesichert werden, daß der Sicherungshaken an der von dessen Achse abgewandten Seite mit seinem hakenförmigen Vorsprung das Stützbein hintergreift. Um das Stützbein in die abgesenkte Stützposition verschwenken zu können, wird der Sicherungshaken ein wenig nach oben geschwenkt, ohne mit seinem Mitnehmer auf den Sicherungsbolzen aufzulaufen, da der Mitnehmer ein entsprechendes Spiel zwischen den zwei Anschlägen des Sicherungsbolzens hat. Der Sicherungshaken wird nur soweit nach oben gedreht, daß das Stützbein herausgeschwenkt werden kann. Das Stützbein enthält vorzugsweise zwei im Winkel zueinander verlaufende Stützbeinabschnitte und ist mit seinem von dem Stützfuß abgewandten Ende um eine schräg zur Vertikalen liegende Achse verschwenkbar. Der Winkel beträgt vorzugsweise etwa 45°.When the support leg is in the raised position, its position can be secured by the fact that the securing hook on the side remote from its axis with its hook-shaped projection engages behind the support leg. In order to pivot the support leg in the lowered support position, the safety hook is a little upwards pivoted without run up with his driver on the safety pin, since the driver has a corresponding clearance between the two stops of the locking bolt. The safety hook is only turned up so far that the support leg can be swung out. The support leg preferably contains two support leg sections extending at an angle to one another and, with its end facing away from the support leg, can be pivoted about an axis lying obliquely to the vertical. The angle is preferably about 45 °.

Wenn das Stützbein so verschwenkt ist, daß sein unterer Stützbeinabschnitt eine vertikale Lage angenommen hat und mit dem Stützfuß auf dem Boden aufruht, wird der Sicherungshaken bis zu einem Anschlag nach unten verschwenkt, wobei der Sicherungsbolzen verschoben wird und mit seinem unteren Ende in eine seitliche Aussparung des Stützfußes eintritt, womit dessen Position gesichert ist. Dabei ist das obere Ende des Sicherungsbolzens aus der Aussparung des Sitzauslegers ausgetreten, so daß dieser frei drehbar ist.When the support leg is pivoted so that its lower support leg portion has assumed a vertical position and rests with the support leg on the ground, the safety hook is pivoted down to a stop, wherein the securing bolt is displaced and with its lower end in a lateral recess enters the support foot, whereby its position is secured. In this case, the upper end of the securing bolt has emerged from the recess of the seat arm, so that it is freely rotatable.

Wie oben erwähnt, ist an den Sitzausleger das eine Schaufel haltende Gestänge befestigt, mit dem die Schaufel in die gewünschte Position und Winkellage bewegt werden kann. Das Gestänge enthält einen Baggerarm, der mit einem Ende an dem Sitzausleger angelenkt ist und an dem anderen Ende einen Schaufelarm mit angelenkter Schaufel gelenkig lagert, wobei der Baggerarm in eine angehobene Endlage zurückschwenkbar ist, in der der Baggerarm lösbar fixierbar ist. Hierzu wird vorgeschlagen, daß an dem Baggerarm ein zweiter Sicherungshaken schwenkbar angebracht ist, der infolge Schwerkraft in der zurückgeschwenkten Endlage des Baggerarms einen an dem Sitzausleger angebrachten Anschlag hintergreift. Der zweite Sicherungshaken ist dabei um eine horizontale Achse drehbar. Durch Hochschwenken des zweiten Sicherungshakens wird der Baggerarm freigegeben.As mentioned above, the boom supporting the blade is attached to the seat arm, with which the blade can be moved to the desired position and angular position. The linkage includes an excavator arm hinged at one end to the seat boom and hinged to the other end of a vane arm with a hinged vane, the excavator arm being pivotable back to a raised end position in which the excavator arm is releasably securable. For this purpose, it is proposed that a second securing hook is pivotally mounted on the excavator, which engages behind a mounted on the seat arm stop due to gravity in the swung-back end position of the excavator. The second safety hook is in order a horizontal axis rotatable. By pivoting the second safety hook the excavator arm is released.

Wie Figur 1 zeigt, ist am Heck eines pedalgetriebenen Kinderspieltracktors 1 ein insgesamt mit dem Bezugszeichen 2 bezeichneter Heckbagger fest angebracht. Hierzu ist ein Aufnahmeblock 3 mittels eines Kupplungsbolzens 4 (Figur 5) an dem Fahrzeugkörper 1 fixiert, wobei der Bolzen 4 Kupplungsringe an dem Fahrzeugkörper 1 durchgreift.As Figure 1 shows, at the rear of a pedal-driven children's game gate 1 a designated generally by the reference numeral 2 backhoe is firmly attached. For this purpose, a receiving block 3 is fixed by means of a coupling pin 4 (Figure 5) to the vehicle body 1, wherein the pin 4 passes through coupling rings on the vehicle body 1.

Auf dem Aufnahmeblock 3 ist drehbar ein Sitzausleger 4 befestigt, der mit einer Sitzschale 5 versehen ist, unter der sich das Drehgelenk befindet.On the receiving block 3, a seat post 4 is rotatably mounted, which is provided with a seat 5, below which is the hinge.

An dem freien Ende des Auslegers 4 ist ein Baggerarm 6 angelenkt, an dem ein starr befestigter Handgriff 7 und ein gelenkig gelagerter Handgriff 8 seitlich nebeneinander angebracht sind. Der schwenkbare Handgriff 8 ist in seinem mittleren Bereich gelenkig mit einem Parallelstab 9 verbunden, an dessen freiem Ende ein Schaufelarm 10 angelenkt ist, der an einer solchen Stelle außerdem an dem freien Ende des Baggerarms 6 angelenkt ist, daß der Parallelstab 9 parallel zu dem Baggerarm 6 verläuft.At the free end of the boom 4, an excavator 6 is hinged, to which a rigidly mounted handle 7 and a hinged handle 8 are mounted side by side. The pivoting handle 8 is in his middle region hingedly connected to a parallel rod 9, at the free end of a blade 10 is articulated, which is articulated at such a location also at the free end of the excavator 6, that the parallel bar 9 extends parallel to the excavator 6.

Der Schaufelarm 10 ist an seinem freien Ende gelenkig mit einer Baggerschaufel 11 verbunden, die über ein Schergestänge 12 außerdem gelenkig mit dem Baggeram 6 verbunden ist.The blade arm 10 is pivotally connected at its free end with a bucket 11, which is also connected via a shear linkage 12 articulated to the excavator 6.

An dem Aufnahmeblock 3 ist außerdem ein Stützbein 13 mit einem unteren Stützfuß 14 gelenkig gelagert. Das Stützbein 13 befindet sich in der Darstellung der Figur 1 in einem seitlich aus dem Aufnahmeblock 3 herausgeschwenkten, angehobenen Zustand, der durch einen ersten Sicherungshaken 15 gesichert ist, der um eine Achse 16 drehbar ist. Der Sicherungshaken 15 übergreift in dem dargestellten Zustand mit seinem hakenförmigen Vorsprung die von der Achse 16 abgewandte Rückseite des oberen, abgewinkelten Abschnitts des Stützbeins 13.On the receiving block 3, a support leg 13 is also articulated with a lower support leg 14. The support leg 13 is located in the illustration of Figure 1 in a laterally pivoted out of the receiving block 3, raised state, which is secured by a first securing hook 15 which is rotatable about an axis 16. The safety hook 15 engages in the state shown with its hook-shaped projection facing away from the axis 16 back of the upper, angled portion of the support leg 13th

Figur 1 läßt ferner einen zweiten Sicherungshaken 17 erkennen, der in der dargestellten angehobenen Endlage des Heckbaggers einen an dem Sitzausleger 4 angeformten Vorsprung 18 so hintergreift, daß der Baggerarm 6 in der gezeigten Lage lösbar fixiert ist.Figure 1 also reveals a second securing hook 17 which engages in the illustrated raised end position of the backhoe integrally formed on the seat arm 4 projection 18 so that the excavator 6 is releasably fixed in the position shown.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Zustand des Heckbaggers, bei dem der Baggerarm 6 freigegeben ist. Der zweite Sicherungshaken 17 war zuvor durch Anheben außer Eingriff mit dem am vorderen Ende des Sitzauslegers 4 angeformten Vorsprung 18 gebracht worden, so daß der Baggerarm nach vorne verschwenkbar wurde.Figure 2 shows a state of the backhoe, in which the excavator 6 is released. The second securing hook 17 had previously been brought by lifting out of engagement with the integrally formed on the front end of the seat post 4 projection 18, so that the excavator was pivoted forward.

Die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen, daß das Stützbein 13 aus einem oberen Stützbeinabschnitt 19 und einem unteren Stützbeinabschnitt 20 besteht, und daß der obere Stützbeinabschnitt 19 um eine schräg zur Vertikalen liegende Achse 21 verschwenkbar ist. Der Sicherungshaken 15 ist über einen drehfest mit ihm verbundenen Mitnehmer 22 (Figur 5), der einen senkrecht zur Ebene der Figur 5 liegenden stabförmigen Mitnehmeransatz hat, mit einem Sicherungsbolzen 23 verbunden, indem der Mitnehmeransatz 24 in eine längliche Aussparung 25 des Sicherungsbolzens 23 zwischen zwei Anschläge 26 und 27 eingreift, deren Abstand größer ist als die Breite des Mitnehmeransatzes 24.Figures 3 and 4 show that the support leg 13 consists of an upper support leg portion 19 and a lower support leg portion 20, and that the upper support leg portion 19 about an axis lying obliquely to the vertical axis 21 is pivotable. The safety hook 15 is rotatable with a connected to him driver 22 (Figure 5), which has a perpendicular to the plane of Figure 5 rod-shaped driving lug, connected to a securing bolt 23 by the driver lug 24 engages in an elongated recess 25 of the securing bolt 23 between two stops 26 and 27 whose distance is greater than the width of the driving lug 24.

Figur 3 zeigt den Zustand, in dem das Stützbein 13 in die senkrechte Stützposition verschwenkt ist. Der Sicherungsbolzen 23 befindet sich noch in der nach oben verschobenen Lage, in der er mit seinem oberen Ende in eine Aussparung 28 eines an der Unterseite des Sitzauslegers 4 angeformten Drehzapfens eingreift, so daß der Sitzausleger 4 in der zugehörigen Winkellage blockiert ist.Figure 3 shows the state in which the support leg 13 is pivoted in the vertical support position. The safety pin 23 is still in the upwardly shifted position in which it engages with its upper end in a recess 28 of an integrally formed on the underside of the seat post 4 pivot, so that the seat post 4 is blocked in the associated angular position.

Durch Drehen des Sicherungshakens 1 5 nach unten läuft der Mitnehmeransatz 24 auf den unteren Anschlag 27 des Sicherungsbolzens 23 auf und verschiebt anschließend den Sicherungsbolzen 23 nach unten, wobei dieser mit seinem unteren Ende in eine Aussparung in dem oberen Stützbeinabschnitt 19 eintritt. In dieser Lage ist das Stützbein in der vertikalen Position gesichert, und der Sitzausleger 4 ist zur Drehung freigegeben (Figur 4).By turning the securing hook 1 5 down the driver lug 24 runs on the lower stop 27 of the securing bolt 23 and then moves the locking pin 23 downwards, which enters with its lower end in a recess in the upper support leg portion 19. In this position, the support leg is secured in the vertical position, and the seat post 4 is released for rotation (Figure 4).
